8/10 Scenario Map
The scenario map is the most important part here:
SCENARIO A
In the classic memory-cycle case, HBM remains real but doesn’t permanently rewrite economics.
Implied equity value: roughly KRW 170T, around 89% below the working market cap.
SCENARIO B
In the improved-cycle case, HBM lifts the business but doesn’t erase cyclicality.
Revenue reaches roughly KRW 165T by 2030, operating margin settles near 28%, and terminal normalised FCFF reaches around KRW 24T.
Still only roughly KRW 370T of implied equity value.
SCENARIO C
In the structurally better but still cyclical case, revenue reaches roughly KRW 210T, operating margin reaches 35%, and terminal FCFF reaches around KRW 42T. Even that gives only roughly KRW 610T of equity value.
SCENARIO D
The only case close to today is the AI memory supercycle.
